轧态组织对C—Mn—Al—Nb钢正火组织特性的影响

本文研究了经由不同流程、不同轧制工艺生产的工业用C-Mn-A1-Nb钢在840℃～900℃正火的显微组织特性,并找出了所要求的最佳机械性能的正火温度。采用加热淬火的实验方法研究了奥氏体形态的发展。结果表明:存在于轧态钢中粗大的奥氏体形态在正火的奥氏体中被保留下来。用膨胀仪和电子显微镜研究了接近Ac_3温度正火冷却时的转变行为和晶粒细化的铁素体——珠光体组织的演变过程。依照显微组织特点,比如铁素体晶粒大小、珠光体的分布及体积百分数,解释了机械性能的变化,发现正火前后铁素体晶粒尺寸之间的明显关系。观察显微组织可知,奥氏体的转变模式(决定于轧态的铁素体——珠光体组织)对这些钢有一定程度的影响,在低温正火时尤其明显。观察低温正火的奥氏体晶界的侵蚀特征,可以认为,这种影响可能是杂质在奥氏体和铁素体界面偏析的结果,不论是在轧后冷却过程中或是正火加热过程中都是如此。

TMCP工艺下Ti-Mg氧化物冶金钢轧态组织性能

Ce对FH40船板钢轧态组织及拉伸性能的影响

利用真空感应炉制备不同Ce含量的FH40实验钢,采用OM、SEM、TEM和EDS手段观察钢的轧态组织,并对其拉伸性能和断口形貌进行测试与分析,研究了Ce对FH40钢轧态组织以及拉伸性能的影响机制。结果表明,随着Ce含量从0增加到0.058%(质量分数,下同),钢的轧态组织得到细化,由多边形铁素体变为细小的等轴状铁素体,同时出现粒状贝氏体;含0.0273%Ce和0.058%Ce钢中分别产生了Ce-O-S+TiN和Ce-O-S复合夹杂物,并且分别诱发了4条和5条晶内针状铁表体(IAF)。含0.058%Ce实验钢的屈服强度、抗拉强度较基体钢分别提高了31、33 MPa。当Ce含量为0.0273%时实验钢的延伸率达到了22.8%。实验钢均表现为位错强化和第二相强化,基体钢中析出相主要是Nb-Ti的复合相,含0.058%Ce实验钢中主要是Nb-Ti-Ce的复合相,且更加弥散细小,位错密度更高;同时断口形貌更加均匀,韧窝由小而浅转变为大而深,使其在切应力的作用下更不易断裂,因而提高了钢材的抗拉强度。

TB-13钛合金动态再结晶行为研究

研究TB-13钛合金在β单相区热轧变形过程中不同变形量对组织演变规律的影响。进行了32%,50%,59%和75%变形量的热轧后,利用光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜观察了该合金热轧变形后的组织变化。结果表明,TB-13钛合金在热轧变形过程中的动态再结晶发生机制是连续动态再结晶。当变形量为32%时,沿着轧制方向存在拉长的扁平状原始β晶粒,晶界平直,晶粒内部存在大量无规则位错和胞状结构位错。随着变形量的增加,晶界处形成亚晶,大量位错在亚晶界处聚集,使亚晶界角度不断增大,最终由小角度晶界转为大角度晶界,从而形成细小的动态再结晶晶粒。

Microstructure evolution and solidification behaviors of A2017 alloy during cooling/stirring and rolling process

A novel semisolid rheo-rolling process of A2017 alloy was achieved by combining the shape rolling mill with the vibrating sloping plate device. The microstructure evolution and solidification behaviors during the process were investigated. The high cooling rate caused by the sloping plate and stirring action caused by the vibration and metal flow lead to a high nucleation rate as well as two primary grain growth patterns, direct globular growth as well as dendrite growth and subsequent breakage, which causes the formation of fine spherical or rosette primary grains. During the rolling process, the grains of the strip were elongated. The primary grain size of A2017 alloy strip increases with the increment of casting temperature. When the casting temperature was between 650 °C and 660 °C, A2017 alloy strip with good quality was produced by the proposed process. The microstructures of the strip are mainly composed of spherical or rosette grains.

Effects of technical parameters of continuous semisolid rolling on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy

A sloping semisolid rheo-rolling process of Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy was developed, and the effects of process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-3Sn-lMn alloy strip were studied. The results show that the primary grain average diameter of the strip increases with the increase of the roll speed. The primary grain average diameter decreases firstly and then increases with the increase of the vibration frequency, and the tensile strength and elongation of the strip increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of the vibration frequency. The primary grain average diameter increases with the increase of casting temperature, and the tensile strength and elongation of the strip decrease correspondingly. When the casting temperature is 670℃, the roll speed is 52 mm/s, and the vibration frequency is 60 Hz, Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy strip with good properties is produced. The mechanical properties of the present product are higher than those of Mg-3Sn-lMn alloy casting with the addition of 0.87% Ce （mass fraction）.

Microstructural evolution of gas atomized Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr powders during semi-solid rolling process

Under H2 atmosphere, the green strips were prepared from Al-5.8Zn-1.63Mg-2.22Cu-0.12Zr(mass fraction, %) powders by the semi-solid rolling process with a relative density from 76.1% to 88.0%. The role of temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. With increasing rolling temperature from 580 to 610 °C, the disappearance of primary powder boundary and isolated pores, inter-diffusion of species and the change of grain boundary were accelerated. Moreover, the mechanism of microstructure evolution changes from the densification dominant regime to the coarsening dominant regime; the amount of η(MgZn2) phase decreased and more Al2 Cu particles precipitated at grain boundaries. The optimum temperature for semi-solid rolling of Al-5.8Zn-1.63Mg-2.22Cu-0.12 Zr powders was determined. The liquid fraction in the range of 53% to 67% corresponds with a high density level of green strips. The present experimental analysis suggests that semi-solid powder rolling can be optimized to manufacture strips with high mechanical properties.

Dynamic recrystallization,texture and mechanical properties of high Mg content Al−Mg alloy deformed by high strain rate rolling

The Al−Mg alloy with high Mg addition(Al−9.2Mg−0.8Mn−0.2Zr-0.15Ti,in wt.%)was subjected to different passes(1,2 and 4)of high strain rate rolling(HSRR),with the total thickness reduction of 72%,the rolling temperature of 400℃and strain rate of 8.6 s^(−1).The microstructure evolution was studied by optical microscope(OM),scanning electron microscope(SEM),electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD)and transmission electron microscope(TEM).The alloy that undergoes 2 passes of HSRR exhibits an obvious bimodal grain structure,in which the average grain sizes of the fine dynamic recrystallization(DRX)grains and the coarse non-DRX regions are 6.4 and 47.7mm,respectively.The high strength((507±9)MPa)and the large ductility((24.9±1.3)%)are obtained in the alloy containing the bimodal grain distribution.The discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)mechanism is the prominent grain refinement mechanism in the alloy subjected to 2 passes of HSRR.
